It's already known most of the big time mobsters were from Eastern European Jewish immigrants of 1 or 2 generations. Murder Incorporated especially. Do you really think Meyer Lansky and Mickey Cohen and Bugsy Seigel were really "Italian Freemasons"?

But there isJewish influence in Freemasonry if that's what your trying to say. But it doesn't somehow make the Mob or Freemasonry somehow "Italian."

There were always plenty of Jews in Italy as well, and they were probably behind the Italian mafia as well as the Jewish mafia that sprung up in America in the early 20th century.

Interstingly enough the Jewish mob is still very much active in Russia and I am sure in America as well.

Funny. One was just widening the nets. Many people don't understand all the roots of the modern state of Italy, and "there were always plenty of Jews in Italy as well", as you've observed, and "they were probably behind the Italian mafia as well as the Jewish mafia that sprung up in America in the early 20th century."

The liberal state of modern Italy and its peculiar values of self-annihilation would not exist but for key contributions from international Judaeo-Freemasonry, e.g. the m.af.i.a.
